PA Primary is not the Super Bowl — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:07:15 GMT

Remember the Pennsylvania primary is NOT the Democratic 'Super Bowl.' It is just another of a dozen remaining primaries. North Carolina with its 115 delegates comes soon after PA. The SUPER BOWL is the convention despite Bill Clinton's hawking PA.

So either Hillary will ruin obama's chances of winning in the Fall or rip the party in half.

Clintons are smart: They know that Hillary winning the nomination is small. Only way she can be president is if she hurts obama enough so He can't win in the fall and try again in 4 years.

Bad News: She will always be Hillary Clinton the Great Divider.

McCain does not have the intelligence, the tempermant, or the debating skills that Obama has in his little finger. McCain is being given a free ride at this time because the rightwing media is protecting him and the liberal media is watching the fight between Hillary and Obama.Once Obama strikes a McCain nerve, it will be all over for John.

Ron, TX — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:17:57 GMT

See, the problem with the primary setup in Pennsylvania, is that Clinton is a Democrat. Obama is also a Democrat. Democrats are going to vote Democrat pretty much either way. A few vocal bad apples won't vote Democrat if its not their candidate, but it all balances out one way or another.

See, so what you end up with, is which candidate gets more independent votes. THAT is the KEY and always has been the key to winning the general election. Obama fares better with independents. Independents flock en masse away from Clinton.

That's why this whole "I won CA! I won NY! I won NJ!" schtick from the Clintons is hillarious. Sure you did, but that doesn't mean Obama would LOSE them in the general election. He'd probably win them by even LARGER margins because he gets such heavy independent votes.

There are 10 states left, which include Indiana, North Carolina and Oregon, and Obama is favored to win all 3.

Sad day for american democracy — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:23:54 GMT

As an avid Clinton supporter, it really pisses me off that as of late it seems that she only cares about certain states. EVERY state should matter! She has not shown consideration to all states like Obama has. Sure, Obama, may have a better chance in certain states over Clinton but instead of sending your husband or daughter to that state, try campainging in the state yourself. Hillary needs to get a clue, Obama has only himself and has been far superior to Clinton when it comes to campaigning. He cares about every state, and does not undermine Clinton supporters like myself. I wish that for once, other Clinton supporters would wake up and get behind our candidate for the "RIGHT" reasons, and not because SHE is a WHITE WOMAN. I mean, is Hillary where she is because she's a female??? Biggots in this country need to catch up to the 21st century.

Look how far we have come as a nation. 100 years ago, women did'nt even have the right to vote, not to mention African Americans were severely discriminated against. Today, we have both, running for President. We should come together as a Nation, rally behind our candidate and congratulate the winner when appropriate.

As for Ferraro, she's a Bitch! Glad to see her go.

The Pennsylvania Working Man — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:24:10 GMT

Ok, all you hard working men and women from Penn. take a look at this. This is a record of a hard working man who talks the talk and walks the walk, from helping end poverty to crime fighting to veteran benifits--Obama is the man.

Hillary on the other hand doesn't seem to have done much to anyone--except herself. Don't believe me--look at her senate record then compare it to Obama's!!!

Oh, and to that women who said "Obama is luck to be running for President and it's just because he's black" --remember he's half white too, Ferrarro.

Who's the best? Obama's the best. Take a look you sad Clintonites and you'll see that Obama did more in 8 months then most senators do in a lifetime of service. That's the kind of president I want working for me.

The following information gathered from the Library of Congress on the Legislative experience Junior Senator Hillary Clinton and Junior Senator Barack Obama. Please Feel free to check these records for yourself and draw your own conclusion.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term, which is 6 years and another year campaigning, has authored and passed 20 twenty pieces of legislation in her term of six years into law. These bills can be found at (wwwhomas.loc.gov). Senator Clinton has passed.

(1) Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
(2) Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
(3) Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
(4) Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
(5) Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
(6) Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
(7) Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
(8) Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
(9) Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
(10) Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
(11) Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
(12) Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
(13) Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
(14) Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
(15) Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty.

Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive.
(16) Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
(17) Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
(18) Assist landmine victims in other countries.
(19) Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
(20) Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

She has a nice list, but note that these are The Fact's straight from the Senate Record; Therefore, it is not made up.

Now, It is time to post Senator Obama's record from the Library of Congress.I have to mention that Senator Obama's list is too substantive, one is coalesced to categorize. Since its alot, remember you can go to the Library of Congress website, and check it out yourself, but I am just summarizing his first 8 months.

During Senator Obama's first 8 eight months of elected service he sponsored over 820 bills.

He introduced 233 bills regarding healthcare reform,
125 bills on poverty and public assistance,
112 bills on crime fighting,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
In his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:
(1)the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became LAW,
(2)The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became LAW, (3)The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate,
(4)The 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became LAW,
(5)The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill that is in committee just to name a few.

In all since he entered the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no legislative record. Read the facts and not emotion.

Why shouldn't Hillary be ahead? Her campaign has become all about being white. All recent exit polls show her white voters having racist tendencies. They are 75% against Obama, saying they would not vote Republican, while Obama voters are not nearly as negative about Hillary and say they will support Hillary. This trend developed just before March 4 and owes its roots in radical right radio talk shows. Clintons have not rejected or repudiated anything. Combined with Ferarro's comments you have a perfect storm for racism and sexism driving voters to Hillary.

He will close that gap and even if he does not win he will gain delegates and popular vote and Senator will be no closer to the nomination but she will have eroded her party and helped McCain.

Democrats find themselves in lose-lose situation

March 12, 2008
BY ANDREW GREELEY
Once again the Democrats seem determined to steal defeat from the jaws of victory.

Consider the possibilities after the Pennsylvania primary. Let us assume that Sen. Hillary Clinton wins it. However, Sen. Barack Obama still has a lead in election delegates and a slim advantage in popular votes.

There are two courses the party can take. They can leave the final choice to the so-called "superdelegates" whom the party has chosen to represent office holders -- mayors, governors, senators and such like. Having read the polls and noting that Sen. Clinton consistently loses the general election to almost any Republican candidate, the superdelegates, many of whom have no great love for the Clintons, tip the scales in favor of the Senator from Illinois.

What happens in this course? Many women who believed that it was "time for a woman president" are furious.

Sen. Clinton was a competent woman with great experience and a tough fighter for women's rights. All through the primaries she has been beaten up by males, both political and media males. They paid no attention to her "moral" rights to the nomination and left the decision to political hacks, mostly men. Moreover, they have not granted the voters in Michigan and Florida the right to express their support for Senator Clinton. The election has been stolen.

The opposite choice has two possible scenarios. The first is to change the rules and let delegates from Florida, selected against the rules, vote. Ms. Clinton is nominated to great acclaim. In the second scenario, Sen. Clinton wins a fierce and close battle among the superdelegates with many charges of dirty tricks and dubious promises.

How do the losers react?

If it was time for a woman president, many also believed it was a time for an African-American president. Sen. Obama was not only black, he was a brilliant young man with wide experience in American life, a charismatic speaker, and a gentleman who would not throw the kitchen sink back at Sen. Clinton. With help of Mexican-American voters who hate African Americans (and vice versa), the white power elite has stolen the election from a candidate who would have won easily if he were white. Bitter Blacks would go fishing on election day and the youthful supporters of Sen. Obama would return to their computer games. The Democratic party would implode for the next decade.

The Democrats need both massive African-American support and a gender gap among women to win a presidential election. Is there any way they can appeal to both against Sen. John McCain? Will not all Democrats rally against the war and the Bush recession? Given the bitterness of the primary, especially of its final battles, this does not seem likely. Nor does a joint ticket of both senators seem probable. Sen. Clinton clearly feels that she has the right to be president. She would hardly accept the number two spot. Unless he has lost his mind, Sen. Obama knows better than to get trapped in a Clinton White House.

Thus Sen. McCain, bad health and all, becomes president, the war continues and so does the Bush recession.

How did the Democrats get into such a mess? One must look back to the 1972 election and the "McGovernite" reforms which are responsible for both our kinky, kooky primary system and the ideology of victimization. That election was a disaster for the Democrats, though the convention was perfectly balanced among women and blacks and had rid itself of such white ethnics as Richard M. Daley and George Meany.

"Do not know if you have seen this email but it is worth a read. I received it a couple of weeks ago from a friend in South Dakota. I asked my husband about its content as I was not familiar with a lot of it (being from Canada) and he told me that it was pretty accurate as far as he is concerned.
If this is the case, please send it to everyone you know. After listening to Hillary last night saying her "victory speech", I still have nausea. If she wants to play dirty and handle the truth carelessly about Barack, perhaps it is time she gets a little reminder. She will continue this negative campaign to win and we must all fight back in any way we can with the real truth about her. Let's also see those White House documents that she and Bill keep hiding and her tax returns she is so hesitant to come clean about. Sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire and unlike Barack who they are trying to destroy with distortions, the Clintons can be brought down with the truth.
We cannot afford to lose the best candidate for president because of smear campaigns from a power hungry woman who wants the prestige of being the first woman to be president.
Hopes You Have Forgotten
Hillary hopes you have forgotten. Have you????

Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her "record," which she says includes
her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or "co-president" - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes:

- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill
Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would "demonize "anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)

- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as "my worst
mistake."

- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to
be withdrawn.

- Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

- Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When
Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by
White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene Confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office,
after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)

- In order to open "slots" in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be
awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for "gross mismanagement" and their
reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House
funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.

- Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the "bimbo eruption squad" and scandal defense:

---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million
dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
---- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury.
---- And Bill was impeached by the House.
---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, "I do not recall," "I have no recollection," and "I don't know" 56 times under oath).
- Hillary accepted the traditional First Lady's role of decorator of the White House at Christmas, but in a unique Hillary way. In 1994, for
example, The First Lady's Tree in the Blue Room (the focal point each year) was Decorated with drug paraphernalia, sex toys, and pornographic ornaments, all personally approved by Hillary as the invited artists' depictions of the theme, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

- Hillary wrote "It Takes a Village," demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint.

- Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.

- Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
- In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the "woman card" by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.

- Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)

- As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.

- Hillary's one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed.

Quite a resume, isn't it? Sounds more like an organized crime family...

Make sure America remembers. Pass this on."

I believe that the reason for McCain's rise in the polls in PA is largely due to the fact that the Democratic candidates are bussy cat fighting and they (especially Hillary) have hurt the party's image.
This should be a warning to Clinton more than Obama that she is doing much harm not only to herself but also to the Democratic Party with all the negatives and her stay in the race in spite of Obama's large delegate lead as well as his lead in the popular vote, and that there are only 10 states left for rabs. Voters are taking notice of Clinton's self-centeredness and self-righteousness.

HE TALKS ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON AND ACTUALLY USES BODY LANGUAGE IN HIS ATTACK ON BILL CLINTON. IF ANYONE THINKS THAT GERALDINE FARRARO'S COMMENTS WERE RACISTS AND HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD DISASSOCIATE WITH HER, THAN
IF OBAMA AND HIS WIFE, MICHELLE, HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF THE TRINITY UNITED CHURCH FOR CHRIST UNDER THE TEACHINGS OF PASTOR WRIGHT, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DISCUSS THESE TEACHINGS IN FULL AND IN PUBLIC.
PASTOR WRIGHT'S COMMENTS ABOUT WHITE AMERICA ARE AS DIVISIVE AS ANY POSSIBLE BELIEF. AFTER SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF MICHELLE OBAMA'S, I CAN SEE WHERE SHE MIGHT BE SPEAKING HER BELIEFS BASED ON HER RELIGIOUS COUNCELING FROM PASTOR WRIGHT.

THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS AND I WILL BET THIS WILL NOT BE POSTED. I WATCHED THIS ON FOX NEWS 3:00 PM PACIFIC TIME SHOW. I AM STILL IN SHOCK. THERE WAS
A FILM CLIP OF OBAMA REFERRING TO WRIGHT "HE WAS MY PASTOR". I BELIEVE WRIGHT HAS JUST RETIRED. SO DO THE OBAMA'S STILL GO TO THIS CHURCH AND WHAT ARE DO THEIR BELIEFS REFLECT THE TEACHINGS OF PASTOR WRIGHT.

What goes up must come down — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:03:58 GMT

What goes up must come down. Look at what happened in two weeks prior to Texas and Ohio. Now Obama has six weeks to gain in the polls. I'd say that gives him a good chance at breaking even. However, Obama is going to have a "land-slide" victory in North Carolina. I'd say the Clinton locomotive is about out of steam. And, as Obama slowly pulls away, gets more and more of the popular vote, gets more pledged delegates, and sooner or later it becomes apparent the Hillary has shamefully, and decietfully--lost--then she will be sorry she acted like a spoiled little brat who didn't get her way--I can her the tantrum from here. . .

I also predict there will be no dream team; not after Hillary said McWar would be a better comander and chief, not after Hillary said words don't count (then had someone fired for saying "MONSTER;")not after the complete the "VP" condtradiction. Common, who would want a snake for a bed-fellow (spitzer/hillary?)
When you think about it, the comment is not so far off what Hillary has been saying all along, "He's not fit to be Commander and Chief, He's just speeches. . ." No wonder Hillary didn't have a real problem with a racist comment from her buddy--Ferrarro.

Hillary will win in Pennsylvania, by a big margin. She's the much better candidate. Obama has no experience, and shows he is very weak under pressure. He will only be good in about 8 years. Right now, he's a very poor and ill-prepared candidate. He's just ambitious and rather arrogant. He should drop out and agree to be Hillary's running mate. Then maybe he'll have a chance in 2016.

Northern Irelands' Minister and Deputy Minister meet with Senator Clinton on December 7, 2007, to discuss Northern Irelands' ongoing Peace Process and to thank Senator Clinton for her decade of involvement and committment to continue US supporting Northern Irelands' Peace Process and economic development. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZhStkZgveI

Asst. Sec. of State and Chief Spokesman for State Dept. Jamie Ruben on MSNBC Tucker Carlson's Show confirming Senator Clinton's Foreign Relations experience and her involvement in Northern Irelands' Peace Process for over a decade and Senator Clinton's impact on worldwide human rights policies due to her speaking out on China's treatment of women and children stating "women's rights are human rights". After Senator Clinton's courageous stand in China critcizing the Communist government, other foreign governments changed their human rights policies to improve womens' lives and in turn childrens' lives.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCjgBAjZBaQ&feature=related

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright; "I know Hillary will be a true leader because she already is, and she has been for as long as I have known her. When she went to China and stood up and said, "women's rights are human rights"- she was acting as a leader. When she went to Northern Ireland and met with the mothers of children killed by both sides, and brought them together in support of the peace process - she was acting as a leader. In the Senate, on the Armed Services Committee and on trips to Iraq and Afghanistan - she has acted as a leader."

Hillary met with Macedonian President and Prime Minister offering Economic Development Package.
(Chicago Tribune 5/16/99)
"First Lady Brings Publicity, Aid to Macedonia. Hillary Clinton met with Prime Minister and Parliamentary President". (Washington Post, 5/15/99)

Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlami, "Hillary is one of the essential reasons Ireland had peace. Without her we would have no economic boom."
(Talk Magazine, August 1999)

Just a few of the documented statements confirming that Senator Clinton does have Foreign Relations experience and is respected by diplomats and world leaders in international political arena.

DON'T BE DUPED!!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty, and comfort for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-self, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-self.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket now! Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history. But the time to act is soon.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

To: Interested Parties
From: Greg Craig, former director, Policy Planning Office, U.S. State Department
RE: Senator Clinton’s claim to be experienced in foreign policy: Just words?
DA: March 11, 2008

When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim. Hillary Clinton’s argument that she has passed “the Commander- in-Chief test” is simply not supported by her record.

There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton played an important domestic policy role when she was First Lady. It is well known, for example, that she led the failed effort to pass universal health insurance. There is no reason to believe, however, that she was a key player in foreign policy at any time during the Clinton Administration. She did not sit in on National Security Council meetings. She did not have a security clearance. She did not attend meetings in the Situation Room. She did not manage any part of the national security bureaucracy, nor did she have her own national security staff. She did not do any heavy-lifting with foreign governments, whether they were friendly or not. She never managed a foreign policy crisis, and there is no evidence to suggest that she participated in the decision-making that occurred in connection with any such crisis. As far as the record shows, Senator Clinton never answered the phone either to make a decision on any pressing national security issue – not at 3 AM or at any other time of day.

When asked to describe her experience, Senator Clinton has cited a handful of international incidents where she says she played a central role. But any fair-minded and objective judge of these claims – i.e., by someone not affiliated with the Clinton campaign – would conclude that Senator Clinton’s claims of foreign policy experience are exaggerated.

Northern Ireland:
Senator Clinton has said, “I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland.” It is a gross overstatement of the facts for her to claim even partial credit for bringing peace to Northern Ireland. She did travel to Northern Ireland, it is true. First Ladies often travel to places that are a focus of U.S. foreign policy. But at no time did she play any role in the critical negotiations that ultimately produced the peace. As the Associated Press recently reported, “[S]he was not directly involved in negotiating the Good Friday peace accord.” With regard to her main claim that she helped bring women together, she did participate in a meeting with women, but, according to those who know best, she did not play a pivotal role. The person in charge of the negotiations, former Senator George Mitchell, said that “[The First Lady] was one of many people who participated in encouraging women to get involved, not the only one.”

News of Senator Clinton’s claims has raised eyebrows across the ocean. Her reference to an important meeting at the Belfast town hall was debunked. Her only appearance at the Belfast City Hall was to see Christmas lights turned on. She also attended a 50-minute meeting which, according to the Belfast Daily Telegraph’s report at the time, “[was] a little bit stilted, a little prepared at times." Brian Feeney, an Irish author and former politician, sums it up: “The road to peace was carefully documented, and she wasn’t on it.”

Bosnia:
Senator Clinton has pointed to a March 1996 trip to Bosnia as proof that her foreign travel involved a life-risking mission into a war zone. She has described dodging sniper fire. While she did travel to Bosnia in March 1996, the visit was not a high-stakes mission to a war zone. On March 26, 1996, the New York Times reported that “Hillary Rodham Clinton charmed American troops at a U.S.O. show here, but it didn’t hurt that the singer Sheryl Crow and the comedian Sinbad were also on the stage.”

Kosovo:
Senator Clinton has said, “I negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo.” It is true that, as First Lady, she traveled to Macedonia and visited a Kosovar refugee camp. It is also true that she met with government officials while she was there. First Ladies frequently meet with government officials. Her claim to have “negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo,” however, is not true. Her trip to Macedonia took place on May 14, 1999. The borders were opened the day before, on May 13, 1999.

The negotiations that led to the opening of the borders were accomplished by the people who ordinarily conduct negotiations with foreign governments – U.S. diplomats. President Clinton’s top envoy to the Balkans, former Ambassador Robert Gelbard, said, “I cannot recall any involvement by Senator Clinton in this issue.” Ivo Daalder worked on the Clinton Administration’s National Security Council and wrote a definitive history of the Kosovo conflict. He recalls that “she had absolutely no role in the dirty work of negotiations.”

Rwanda:
Last year, former President Clinton asserted that his wife pressed him to intervene with U.S. troops to stop the Rwandan genocide. When asked about this assertion, Hillary Clinton said it was true. There is no evidence, however, to suggest that this ever happened. Even those individuals who were advocating a much more robust U.S. effort to stop the genocide did not argue for the use of U.S. troops. No one recalls hearing that Hillary Clinton had any interest in this course of action. Based on a fair and thorough review of National Security Council deliberations during those tragic months, there is no evidence to suggest that U.S. military intervention was ever discussed. Prudence Bushnell, the Assistant Secretary of State with responsibility for Africa, has recalled that there was no consideration of U.S. military intervention.

At no time prior to her campaign for the presidency did Senator Clinton ever make the claim that she supported intervening militarily to stop the Rwandan genocide. It is noteworthy that she failed to mention this anecdote – urging President Clinton to intervene militarily in Rwanda – in her memoirs. President Clinton makes no mention of such a conversation with his wife in his memoirs. And Madeline Albright, who was Ambassador to the United Nations at the time, makes no mention of any such event in her memoirs.

Hillary Clinton did visit Rwanda in March 1998 and, during that visit, her husband apologized for America’s failure to do more to prevent the genocide.

China:
Senator Clinton also points to a speech that she delivered in Beijing in 1995 as proof of her ability to answer a 3 AM crisis phone call. It is strange that Senator Clinton would base her own foreign policy experience on a speech that she gave over a decade ago, since she so frequently belittles Barack Obama’s speeches opposing the Iraq War six years ago. Let there be no doubt: she gave a good speech in Beijing, and she stood up for women’s rights. But Senator Obama’s opposition to the War in Iraq in 2002 is relevant to the question of whether he, as Commander-in-Chief, will make wise judgments about the use of military force. Senator Clinton’s speech in Beijing is not.

Senator Obama’s speech opposing the war in Iraq shows independence and courage as well as good judgment. In the speech that Senator Clinton says does not qualify him to be Commander in Chief, Obama criticized what he called “a rash war . . . a war based not on reason, but on passion, not on principle, but on politics.” In that speech, he said prophetically: “[E]ven a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.” He predicted that a U.S. invasion of Iraq would “fan the flames of the Middle East,” and “strengthen the recruitment arm of al Qaeda.” He urged the United States first to “finish the fight with Bin Laden and al Qaeda.”

If the U.S. government had followed Barack Obama’s advice in 2002, we would have avoided one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes in our nation’s history. Some of the most “experienced” men in national security affairs – Vice President Cheney and Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others – led this nation into that catastrophe. That lesson should teach us something about the value of judgment over experience. Longevity in Washington, D.C. does not guarantee either wisdom of judgment.

Conclusion:
The Clinton campaign’s argument is nothing more than mere assertion, dramatized in a scary television commercial with a telephone ringing in the middle of the night. There is no support for or substance in the claim that Senator Clinton has passed “the Commander-in-Chief test.” That claim – as the TV ad – consists of nothing more than making the assertion, repeating it frequently to the voters and hoping that they will believe it.

On the most critical foreign policy judgment of our generation – the War in Iraq – Senator Clinton voted in support of a resolution entitled “The Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of U.S. Military Force Against Iraq.” As she cast that vote, she said: “This is probably the hardest decision I have ever had to make -- any vote that may lead to war should be hard -- but I cast it with conviction.” In this campaign, Senator Clinton has argued – remarkably – that she wasn’t actually voting for war, she was voting for diplomacy. That claim is no more credible than her other claims of foreign policy experience. The real tragedy is that we are still living with the terrible consequences of her misjudgment. The Bush Administration continues to cite that resolution as its authorization – like a blank check – to fight on with no end in sight.

Barack Obama has a very simple case. On the most important commander in chief test of our generation, he got it right, and Senator Clinton got it wrong. In truth, Senator Obama has much more foreign policy experience than either Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan had when they were elected. Senator Obama has worked to confront 21st century challenges like proliferation and genocide on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He possesses the personal attributes of a great leader – an even temperament, an open-minded approach to even the most challenging problems, a willingness to listen to all views, clarity of vision, the ability to inspire, conviction and courage.

And Barack Obama does not use false charges and exaggerated claims to play politics with national security.

What is most disturbing about this is that both candidates are now doing worse against McCain than they were a few days ago. The most likely explanation is Hillary Clinton has managed to bring the campaign down to the lowest common denominator. Voters might begin to think that you can't trust these candidates not to act like children in a playground fight, and anyway McCain is qualified for the job. Way to go the Democrats are snatching defeat from the very jaws of victory, yet again. Someone needs to rein this in, pointing out that the next person to foul is out of the game. Time for the super superdelegates like Gore, Edwards, and Richardson to weigh in. Not necessarily on who should be the candidate, but how a viable candidate to represent the Democratic Party should act.

They have said that around April 15 they will release their returns. Come the 15th, they will have some excuse to postpone it past the 24th Penn. primary. Yes thats right, after millions of people have cast their ballots without this information.

All of the other Democratic candidates have made public their returns long ago. What’s the story Hillary?

Do we need a President that at 3am gets a call about a major problem in the middle east, and derives millions of dollars of her income from that area?
Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Not only that its a major security problem. Will she be bought?

Why don't Obama's people keep reminding everyone every chance they get that Clinton's big wins occurred in states where she was leading by 20+ points in many cases? Obama cut those leads substantially before the vote. Where did Clinton overtake the lead when Obama was originally in the lead? NOWHERE! Who can attract new voters, and who has hit her ceiling?

The assumption that all of us will vote Democratic in PA no matter who the nominee is--is wishful thinking. If Empty Suit Obama wins the nomination, there are plenty of us will will NOT be voting for the Democrat. Then you can all Say Hello to the Old Man. Do you want to know why? Because many of us are sick of being accused of being uneducated when I for one would be more than happy to pit my education, experience and salary up against any of you Obama children living off their parents. Second reason: I am sick of all the off-color remarks about women made by Obama children all over the net. I will not vote for him. Period. I am far from alone and you arrogant Obamabots are the reason.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE THE MOST IMMATURE, OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO.

Let me say a couple of things. Most of these neg. comments about Clinton are nothing short of ignorance. Obama has NO experience and his popularity is pushed by who he is not his experience unfortunatly those who have the guts to say so, get blasted for what many people have no guts to admit. To the young, you may think you are grown but you have a long way to go nor do you have the wisdom to know what your voting for. Get educated, not in a movement that I believe will not succeed. With FL and Michigan not settled, Clinton has more delegates and more of the popular vote than Obama. Be informed not ignorant.

What's the Clinton/Pelliano connection? Why aren't people realizing that Obama won Texas in delegate count? She won pop vote only.

Mississippi?
I can't believe that people seem surprised that only 21% of Whites in Mississippi voted for Barack. People this is Mississippi we are talking about--most of the White people in Miss. still think there is a Confederacy. People...........Please!

Dirk from Georgia,

You should not be surprised that there are racist whites in Mississippi who would not in a million years vote for a black or bi-racial person for president, even if he is an eloquent, intelligent,charismatic, inspiring man like Barack Obama.

And yes, since you mention his smile, it is a beautiful smile that can light up a whole auditorium. I guess his having all these qualities is plenty enough to make some white men who are already racist feel threatened. (hmmmm...perhaps I'm touching a nerve here for you?)

My point is, it's not Mr. Obama's beautiful smile and charismatic nature that is polarizing, but it is the long standing hatred racist people have held in their hearts, stagnating like some sort of cesspool.

I know how this is. I grew up in Georgia and the racist feelings there are as deep as the red clay under your feet.
